My husband and I moved to Atlanta in late January (as you can probably tell from my handle!) I've gone through a lot of stress, trouble finding a job, etc. I started comfort eating. Gained a little weight. Decided to cheat to lose weight and took Garcinia Cambogia. (please don't judge!) Well, that was a month ago and my bowel movements really haven't been the same. I have IBS as it is, but the GC supplements caused me to have what I call "sad diarrhea". This stressed me out even more! I stopped taking it when this started to happen. Before GC, I was actually having healthy and clockwork movements. Now, when I go to the bathroom, it's kind of soft and "wilty" looking. (Not always). Now I am stressed about getting my bowel movements back to normal. I need advice on how some of you have done this and how to control my stress. Things have been improving for the past month, but it's too slow for me! I want to get back to normal now! By the way, don't ever take Garcinia Cambogia. I shouldn't have done it. Now I regret it.

If I were you I'd get a comprehensive stool anaylsis done and ensure you dont have bacteria and parasites etc...and get onto a good probiotic. SB floractiv is meant to be very good. Above all-follow Heather's guidelines but make sure what you have IS IBS...have the tests that rule out other stuff first. Good luck!

Foods are not known to cause IBS. Have you been diagnosed by a doctor as having IBS?
What is "sad diarrhea"? And who gave you this diagnosis?
